Fly Guy #01: Hi, Fly Guy! by Tedd Arnold

Tedd Arnold is back with another great book! Hi! Fly Guy is the story of a boy searching for the perfect pet. The boy captures a fly, and everyone tells him that a fly is not a pet, it is a pest. But the boy and fly end up making a good pair for many reasons.

Tedd Arnold has written this as a chapter book, but it is written as a very easy chapter book for those kids just beginning to read. It is written very simply, but it is still lots of fun. The story and graphics are funny and gross (as we expect from Tedd Arnold), and it should be very appealing to lots of young boys. Arnold has always drawn buggy eyes, and it is great to actually see them on some bugs. The book cover also has a very entertaining holographic design which will entertain curious young children as well.

Rumor is Tedd Arnold has more books planned in the Fly Guy series, and I can't wait to see them.
